The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[BlackChiney8]

Sometimes weekend thrifting is the worst thing ever LOL. I think my entire city decided to go to the local thrifts today as finding parking in the lots which are not even that small was like pulling teeth. A couple of people have been talking in here about thrifting becoming such a "trendy" thing to do and I've definitely been spotting these kids in Jordans and streetwear running around thrifts like chickens with their heads cut off with completely full carts.

First for me finding SKU...

Save Khaki gets zero love here, but Mozzie from White Collar used to rock it, and looked pretty cool.

Anyone got any thrift/secondhand, vintage, or consignment store recommendations for Milan or Florence? I'm aware it's not too big out there but would be nice to see something. Thanks.

I only thrift on weekdays because of this. In the weekend everyone visits thrift stores, on weekdays during business hours you only have housewives, people on welfare, retirees and the odd reseller to deal with.

I usually do the same but the FOMO from this thread always gets me haha. Some of you guys in here have it down to a sweet science but I honestly just pop in the odd times when I have the time. I've heard others in here mention them restocking mostly on Mondays and Tuesdays and other times on the weekends. I definitely know the true good stuff will most likely be gone by the times I go but I'm thrifting for personal so it's not like my livelihood depends on it.

Saw these two preview shots in an estate sale, was enough to get me up early.

Sadly the EG's were pulled from the sale but Churchs, Armani, Peal/CJ Brooks, Fucked up Westons and blown out Alden shell Brooks

Huge Barneys and Pacquetage Made in France rucksack

arnys corduroy braces, vintage moire braces, coach and J press

Abercrombie, Christys, 100% Cashmere N Peal flat cap

Lafont spectacles, Charvet/Colban bow, ancient madder ascot, IBM bow

Not full fragrances but enough to put in rotation. Burb wax is still wet! Carriage clock Brooks Brothers made in West Germany.

Barbour is thick moleskin made in England, wish it fit.

not sure if this is pop on a Kiton suit or not but its not common by me AT ALL. ******* amazing heavy tweed 1950s Brooks Sack 3 piece suit

Paul Stuart by Ruffo tumbled leather parka with hat brimmed hood and detatachable leather trim gilet

pretty much the last brand of denim I thought I would find in this house WTF

I literally walked up to the bed that you saw in the pictures, turned over one or two, saw they were in the right vein, then scooped them all in a hamper. Walked over to the woman and said "How much for a bunch of ties?" she said "you took them all?" I said yea, she said $25 OK?

YUP IT WAS

Chipp Batik is amazing.

Anyway long story short 99 items for $250 makes my PPU on this $2.52 and that is A-OK with me!

Just got back from Florence and Rome a couple weeks ago. Thrift scene is pretty thin but I found one vintage store in Florence called Melrose near the Duomo. Crazy expensive but had some cool stuff mixed in with what we would all consider fodder. Maybe Milan would be better because it’s a fashion center. Good luck!
